Old Dominion vs. Arkansas State Prediction

I’m on Arkansas State here. The line’s a bit confusing for me as Arkansas State has senior day happening here and even still the Red Wolves could have a share of a division title in the conference with a win. The Red Wolves may not be able to go to the conference title game, but they’re in better form coming in here. Old Dominion blew their chance at bowl eligibility, and I think they could be even more deflated because it was two close losses against two of the better teams in the conference in James Madison and Marshall. I think Arkansas State should be favored here. Give me the points with the Red Wolves.
